NyANTED-A church CLERGYMAN
Wv wishes to take his vacation next
summer trout and salmon fishing. He is
a good fisherman, and is acquainted with
every crook and turn of river easy of
access and having good trout fishing
(free). He cannot afford the necessary
expense, and would like to correspond
with some party lone, two or three per
sons) who would be willing to bear most
of the expense. As an offset he will fur
nish two tents, large enough for a party
of four and thsir guides, and all the nee
essary cooking utensils and dishes, and
will attend to purchasing supplies and
take the general oversight of the trip.
Also if any of the party are not adopts at
fly fishing he will, if desired, do his best
to instruct them. Address Fisherman"
1t is safe to say that this piseatorial
parson has bean overwhelmed with re-
plies to his proposal. He writes like
man who would make capital fishing
companion. He knows where salmon and
trout most do congregate, therefore he
is an Intelligent observer; he is proficient
in the use of the fly, therefore, he has
knack and experience; ne offers g reason
able Offset, therefore he is honest and
fair minded; he realizes that the best way
to supply want is to advertise In the
newspapers, therefore he possesses good
common sense; he is silent about the
superior moral influence of "a chuIch
clergyman" which he will place at the
services of the party, along with the
tenes and cooking utensils, therefore he
is modest.

The Pacific Railway Investigation Continued

The Pacific Railway Investigation Continued.
New YORK, May 10.-The Pacific rail
way investigation brought out to-day in
the testimony of VIM. Bond, former presi-
dent of the st. Joseph & Denver railroad,
serving as its receiver from 1874 to 1879
the fact that the road paid no bonds or
interest till after the consolidation
with the Unian Pacific when interest
was guaranteed by the tariff con-
tract. After the consolidation the
value of the bonds advanced rapidly.
Jay Gould was a large holder of the Sc
curities of the company. George Arents,
Wall street broker testified that the
bonds of the Kansas and Nebraska and
st. Joseph and Western roads were sold
for % cents in 1873 and in 1879 as high
as So cents for seconds.
Artemus II. Holmes was recalled and
questioned about the pooling of the Kan
sas Pacific, Denver Pacific anG the Union
Pacific. He admitted he conversed with
Gould, Sage and Dillon about the matter,
but claimed exemption from testifying
as to the conversations held with the
clients. When asked if the pooling ar
rsngement would not have profted by the
leases of the Kansas Pacific and Denver
Pacific, Holmes said the Union Pacific was
prohibited from leasing them. Before the
pooling arrangements neither of the roads
were permitted to earn anything. The
s., 100000 worth of stock of the Denver
Pacific released from trust, was trans
ferred to the Kansas Pacific and used
in acquiring branch roads, etc The
sellers, Gould, Sage. Dillon and others
received therefor the Union Pacific. Ad-

Driven to the Wall
CHICAGO, May 1O.-Two barb wire fence
manufacturing firms failed in this city
to-day. Sherman & Marsh, 81 Dearborn
street. made an assignment to Noble B.
Judah. Their liabilities are estimated at
S45S, 900 and assets at $256,000. The
firm is composed of Francis L. Sherman
and Eben j. Marsh. The firm of Schabel
j. Co., 53 Dearborn street, next door to
Sherman Marsh, also made an assign
ment to Mr.. Judah. Their liabilities are
$303,o0o and assets $1S3,O0O. The
members of the firm are Eben
j. Schnabel and Eben j.
Marsh (the same Marsh that is in the
firm of Sherman d Marsh). Mr.. NJ ,rsh
gave as the immediate cause of the fail
ure the operation of the interstate com
merce act. He said, "that bill had the
effect Of simply shutting US out. We
could not go out of Chicago with our
products and hope to do business on any
thing like paying basis. The truth is,
however, business has been any ything but
profitable for the last three years. There
has been too much over production in
barbwire fencing" The two firms
have made no preference of creditors
and will await the action of their credi-
tors, before deciding on any plan of pro-
ceedure. Sherman and Marsh have been
doing business for nine years and are Ii

fectually blighted.
